This recipe brings to life luxurious cupcakes that are a true celebration of chocolate and hazelnuts. The cupcakes themselves are moist and rich, made with melted butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and infused with the deep flavor of hot coffee. Cocoa powder and flour are sifted into the mix, creating a perfectly balanced chocolate base. After baking, each cupcake is filled with a generous scoop of Nutella and crowned with a lush frosting made from cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, Nutella, and cocoa powder. The frosting is creamy and rich, offering a delightful contrast to the crunchy hazelnuts that adorn the sides. Finally, each cupcake is topped with a Ferrero Rocher, adding an extra layer of indulgence.
